<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone or group was able to help me on a fairly ambitious undertaking - Im working to get Hackney accredited with the Surfers Against Sewage Plastic free community status. This requires a number of business and organisations including the Council to get behind a number of initiatives to stop the amount of single use plastics used.</p>
